Miguel Ruiz is a Spanish veteran exiled in France who was a member of \”La Nueve\” (\”The Nine\”), a company of men that went straight from fighting for their homeland in the Spanish Civil War to battles spanning the globe in WWII. Their years-long trek across Europe and Africa was spurred on by their love for their country and their hatred for brutal dictatorships. Roca uses the composite character Ruiz’s \”memories\” to tell a story that’s an ode to a generation that bravely stood up to, and beat back, violent fascism.
